In a personal monologue, I confessed the following...
"On Tuesdays, when it's free, I like to go to the Chicago Art Institute and wander around looking at the paintings. I don't know if it's because I actually enjoy looking at the paintings or because I am desperate for someone to see me walking around enjoying the paintings."*
Nobody else in class laughed at that, but TJ did and I'll never forget the sense of accomplishment that gave me.
5 years later, I can still remember where I was standing on the Del Close stage, and where his laugh came from, out in the house.
Nostaligic,
Mr. B
*That's entirely true, by the way, I did used to go to the Free Tuesdays at the museum and look at the art for both reasons, actually.

I totally know that feeling - specifically the feeling of accomplishment at having done something to make TJ laugh. For me, it was when we did our Bat, and the mother in the scene had brought all the kids down to the basement and had them go to sleep in a bunch of coffins. Then I came in as the father and said, "What the hell is going on here. Alright, kids, out of the coffins!" After the Bat was over, TJ repeated that line, laughing as he said it. Also in the Del Close theater.
